〈The Wind🍃 Brought 🎐Good News🌬️〉

This morning while hanging laundry, the wind was so strong it blew one of my socks over to the neighbor's balcony. I leaned over the railing to look, and the auntie next door happened to come out. She was holding my sock and said with a smile, "Your sock is here." "Sorry about that—" "It's okay, the wind often brings things over," she said, handing the sock back. "By the way, did you order a package yesterday? The management office said there was a registered mail for you." I blinked, surprised. I hadn't ordered anything. I went downstairs to the management office to pick it up. It was a small cardboard box from a college classmate. Inside was a hand-knitted scarf, a pale yellow color. The tag read: "I said I'd knit this for you last year, and I finally finished. Winter's coming soon, so I'm sending it to you first." I wrapped the scarf around my neck. It wasn't cold at all today, but I just didn't want to take it off. At lunchtime, I went to the noodle shop. The owner asked, "Do you want some chili paste today?" "Yes." When she brought it over, there was an extra soft-boiled egg. "It's a new recipe I'm testing, could you try it and tell me how it tastes?" I took a bite, and the rich yolk flowed out, smudging my lips. The owner looked at me nervously. "How is it?" "It's delicious. You have to sell this." She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled like a child. In the afternoon, I browsed in a bookstore and randomly opened a book. I happened to land on a page that read: "Today will be a wonderful day, if you're willing to believe it." I paused, closed the book, and opened it again. It was still the same page. I decided to buy it. When I went to pay, the cashier said, "This book is on sale today."
